New organic Bakery in Lordship Lane...

[cate]

There is also a good old fashioned bakery on Half Moon Lane in Herne Hill that sell lovely granary bread in different sizes including rolls. They will slice it for you. I buy a big loaf and freeze some for toast. Jack's in Pellat Road get their bread from there.

Applespider, is this the same Gails? Gail's Bread

E

[Applespider]

Yup... that's the Gail's bread I'm thinking about. It really is worth the price!

[lordship_bod]

bought a cupcake as a treat from them which cost nearly 2 quid and didnt think much of it (i think i should have tried the brownies going on previous posts!) - wont be doing that again. i could bake better tasting cupcakes with non-organic ingrediants and will do so next time.....

Morrisons in Peckham. Best supermarket for quality and choice of bread by a long way.

[Lizziedjango]

I don't rate the bread in Morrisons at all!!!! Much better in SAinsburys.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Have to disagree - their Hedgehog Bread is pretty yummy.

[Sue]

Erm, Hedgehog Bread?

Is this like Badger Beer?

Made of, blah blah??

:-$

I would have to agree with those who say the Blackbird is the place to go. Their walnut and onion bread is great.

While we are recommending I would also recommend Maniat stall in the indoor East Dulwich Market. Perfect dipping oil for the Blackbird Bakery bread. Their honey is amazing too.

"in a year from now LL will have more boarded up shops than a town in South Yorkshire."

Just to pick up on that point - I really hope LL doesn't end up with boarded up shops like it was in the early 90's. I much prefer it the way it is now, with nice shops selling nice things. Yes some of the things are expensive nay, even overpriced but which would we rather hsve? Tumbleweed?

[Sue]

Yeh, better six pairs of babies' socks for ?20 in Davina's Boutique than tumbleweed.

When I balked (?) at the price the assistant said "Well, that is for six pairs, you know".

Clearly I don't fall into their target demographic.

Which appears to be rich babies...

Whatever happened to mums and grandmums-to-be knitting bootees for babies? Buying them indeed! The shame! :)

[Lizziedjango]

not sure what baby socks have got to do with the expensive organic bakery!

I have bought the white-ish big-ish loaf from the new bakers, with loads of seeds in it, linseed, alfalfa, sesame, sunflower, etc. it was ?2.80, but solid, packed with good stuff, and so DELICIOUS that I now do not buy it, cos once I have bought it a can't stop myself eating the whole loaf over a weekend!!

you can find some of the best bread in London at Whole foods market in Kensington, they have a huge range of breads available and they bake the bread in front of you. The price of most breads is fairly competeive and i find it worth the trip. They also have a sperlonga loaf which is pretty close to the Turkish bread in Australia, just without the seeds.

for those who enjoy quality bread, you must go!

[Asset]

Australia known for its Turkish bread is it?

[Amysdad]

So the best Turkish bread is either from Australia or Kennington? Bl00dy nutters the lot of you...;-)

[best bread]

its not a traditional turkish bread, just a name

Not impressed by the Luca bread, a bit ...well doughy & slightly undercooked? E D Deli ( wether you like the guy or not ) bakes the best bread (in a wood fired oven just off the old kent rd)the baker is a french guy who used to bake at St John's in Clerkenwell .Also If you get over Battersea way the bread stall in North cote Rd is worth the trip, they sell a bread called "Campilou" in a rough tri-angle shape, now that is king for me, toasted with a spread of real butter and pate.........mmmmmm

[SeanMacGabhann]

I find that a tad hard to believe - sorry you had a bad experience and all but I cannot imagine 2 pastries and 2 coffees being ?15 - I have been to Lucas many a time - I know they are not cheap but I would be hard pressed come up with that figure

[Beckster]

in my view the best place for bread in ED is the Blackbird Bakery just down from the station.

[Louisa]

Tesco do the best bread of all the supermarkets. Sainsburys is crap, as is Asda, and Morrisons is hit and miss. As for Waitrose well, a working class girl just wouldnt know would she?

[Moos]

Which Tesco loaf do you like, Louisa? I do like a good buy tip.
